Doncaster Rovers have handed a contract to One Directon star Louis Tomlinson.

Tomlinson has been given the number 28 shirt at the Keepmoat Stadium, and the music star has admitted that it is an "unbelievable" feeling to sign for his hometown side.

The 22-year-old told Sky Sports News: "It's unbelievable. I've been a massive football fan for some time and obviously growing up in Doncaster, I have been to a few games, so to be part of the club is incredible."

Tomlinson is expected to train with the club in September before featuring in a reserve match, with the proceeds from the fixture going to charity.
